After a day when you feel you got “nothing” done, try a post-to-do list. List everything you did, however small. You’ll likely surprise yourself with what you accomplished. Use the momentum of clearing all those little things to push thru your most important tasks tomorrow.
It was one of those days when physical pain prevents doing much of anything. Sensations that stab you in the back, shoot down extremities, interrupt sleep & chase clarity of thought away. For those of us with chronic pain, pain becomes our “norm.” Then there are the bad days.…
Overwhelm. The stuff of life when there's just too much all at once. Even if it's good stuff, and even if some (most?) is self-imposed. We can't control the external demands on us, but we can control the internal demands we place on ourselves. Pace yourself. Slow, consistent…
Certain flavors just should not be combined with or called “wine.” Margarita wine? Blueberry lemonade wine? Peanut butter and jelly wine? Um, no. Last stop on our wine tour today was quite proud of its selection of sickeningly sweet, flavored wines. The syrupy flavors made…
It's ironic how many people express concerns about digital privacy while also relying on Alexa or Siri or Google to automate and streamline everything in their lives. And now to finish setting up my home automations....
Just watched the new Civil War movie. They lost me in the first 5 minutes with the premise that California and Texas seceded from the Union - together. Tried to keep an open mind, but they never explained that improbability. Other disappointments throughout, but explaining…
Today was a mad 13-hour clean, unpack, & organize day with minimal interruptions. My introverted self was very happy. Until I realized it’s 5 AM! I should probably try to sleep. But the new place feels more civilized. A few more days of intensity to get fully settled….
Strive not just to survive but rather to thrive. Seek not to simply weather the storm but rather learn to dance in the rain.
Every 15th of April, I dream of a simple, flat tax for individuals. I wonder how many man-hours are wasted nationwide each year in navigating the federal tax code.
Transitions are the bridges connecting one chapter of our lives to the next. Keep moving forward with grace and courage, one small step at a time.
Never underestimate the influence of your physical environment on your capacity for focus and creativity.
My introverted self is struggling today. Haven't had a day completely alone since 3/25. Looking forward to 4/17, when I will have a full day all to myself! I'm sure my fellow introverts can relate, whenever too much time passes without enough solitude to recharge.
Every decision made is a step toward achieving what you desire. Every moment of indecision prolongs the agony.
I hate military movers. 😡 I could go off on a whole rant about disrespectful handling of military members’ belongings and on disgusting waste of government resources. AKA US tax dollars at work. But I’ll spare you the full force of my vitriol for the moment. Comment if…
Wise words from Benjamin Franklin: "Be civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few." How much less strife there would be in the world if more people practiced this. But we can each choose to do so ourselves, and just maybe we can inspire others to respond in kind.
Total solar eclipse made its appearance in between clouds over TX today. Total darkness at 1:30 pm. Definitely one of the more bizarre things I’ve experienced. (photos by author)
I lost myself in trying to be who I was told to be, while being criticized for being me. Now away from those past situations, I’m free to discover who I really am now. It’s a strange feeling. Can you relate?

Introverts hate fake people. The two-faced. The sweet-tongued. The show-offs. People who are full on the surface but empty inside. They care about people who are real. Simple. Humble. And above all, bone deep honest.
